1620 Coin : it is called "the billion"

[frogmaster-riviera]

Hi guys

Did a little hunt today and found a tiny little coin from 1620.

Didn't had time to clean it yet, but it's a pleasure for the eyes.

Just did a quick cleaning to be able to ID the the coin

The coin was found near a river on an actual Vineyard. The place is know since -1200BC to be a place to camp for pilgrimage. We found a lot of potteries, coins from all ages witnesses of man activities and exchanges.

Enjoy! and thanks for watching

It is not a place with offers or deposits, it is a place used to camp only... the goodies are not in the same area LoL.

I share 100% of your precision

Realise that they were just camping, I was just saying what they gathered for when they got there. I think it was like a big party or festival where remote family groups could meet up for the ritual but also a chance to find a mate.

Yes you are right, we found a lot a coins, potteries, artifacts, statues.. from various European regions over there which is always surprising. Always a pleasure crusader to meet you on TNET
